Tapping can be used to help manage the functions and systems of the body. Often times our system can be hyper functioning or under functioning. Here is a great little tool I use to help us to tune into the body and get a sense of what is going on in the body and how we can tap for it.

Many times the body carries extra weight for a very specific reason. In this article we look at how we can understand the reason the body has for holding the weight.

Much of the time we spend with loved ones food is present. It can be in the form of celebration, gift, or just mealtime with loved ones. Because food is present in so may different aspects of our relationships our relationship to food can get tangled up in our relationship to relationships.

One of the places it is easiest to emotionally beat ourselves up is over the types of foods we are eating. There are days that we can feel great because we have eaten “good” food, while other days we can be emotionally distraught be cause we ate “bad” foods. By changing the way we see food as good or bad we can change our emotional state about how we are eating.

There are times when we know we are going to stepping in to situations where we are going to be facing a know issue (like going to a party where there are going to be tempting foods or into a meeting where we know we might get mad). When we know what our problem spots are we can do tapping ahead of time to issue we make better choices.

One of the most difficult parts of releasing weight is making changes to how we eat. There are two aspects to changing the way we eat: mealtime eating and between meal eating. In this article we look at the many different ways we can use tapping to deal with mindless eating.

The extra weight that we hold is often times associated with and symptoms of deeper emotional issues. In this interview Catherine Poole talks about what emotions are most often associated with the different problems areas of weight gain. Once we are able to understand the emotional roots of the weight we are carrying it becomes easier for us to release both the emotional wound as well at the physical weight.

One of the most difficult things about weight release is believing that we can achieve our goals. Often we are often carry the baggage of failed past attempts at weight release, a family history of carrying too much weight, and the fact that we have held the weight for so long it seem that is stuck and can’t possibly be released. In this article we look at the different reasons we fear failure (not just for weight release) and how we can use tapping to move past these fears.

The first step in the healing process is recognizing it is safe to heal. In this article we discuss why our system can believe it is not safe to heal and how we can do some simple tapping to create a state of safety allowing us to return to our natural healthy state.
